Northern Colorado Race Results

There are few races in Larimer, Weld, and Morgan Counties with primary challenges making what would seem to be a rather unexciting election night.

But don’t let your eyes deceive you. There’s a backstory to each of the races which bear close attention. HD-51: Disgraced Rep. Jim Welker attempted to circumvent the Assembly process by nominating McNaught as his hand-picked successor. More information here.

Larimer County Assessor: Colorado Confidential discovered that some Assessor Office employees were writing letters to the editor without disclosing their employment and own professional stake in this race. We followed up that story with more concerns about Miller’s private enterprise conducting property tax assessment protests on a system he developed as the former assessor.

SD-13: The Greeley Tribune notes the Colorado Christian Coalition apologized to Rep. Dale Hall for sending out a letter to Weld voters erroneously claiming that he voted for a bill that would require hospitals to dispense emergency contraception. The Tribune endorsed Hall.
